    4 run, 2 don't
    Well, you normally decide what type of shock you're going to run underneath whether it's a 10", 12", or 14" shock.

    Most opt for a 12" unless you're going a little more custom with spring under and more.

    You'll want to run a sort of 'crossmember' for the top mount, and cycle your leaf pack (just 1 leaf) to figure out collapsed and extended length and mount points.

    Takes some work and is best done with the bed off.

    Once you dive into welding stuff, it becomes a custom job that no one can give you a direct answer for however there are plenty of threads covering the process.

    I'd ask the good folks at Freel Good (or wherever you purchased the kit from) for some installation instructions. That's the best way to know where each part of the kit should be installed/mounted.

    Looks to me like their kit is an outboard shock relocation kit, and so you might have a lot more parts than you've included in your post.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    It really comes down to just what your end game plan is for the truck.

    Just why are you relocating the shocks??
